Tony Putnam, Utilities Director at Clemson University said no utility issues were noted on campus. However, a tree on campus took down a Duke Energy overhead circuit serving the Madren Center and Martin Inn. Those locations have been without power since Monday evening.

The University Waste Treatment Plant and Corps Pump Station are also served by this Duke Energy circuit but these facilities have back-up diesel generators for critical operations, Putnam said.

Clemson's campus was closed Monday due to the threat of severe weather caused by Tropical Storm Irma.

Tens of thousands were without power early Tuesday after the storm moved through Upstate SC.

Employees and students in university facilities and classes outside of Pickens County are asked to pay attention to local media reports and follow closing/delay schedules for county government offices in their county.
